The Monsoon Arrives: First Real Rain Hits the New Mexico Desert
After months of extreme heat, dry conditions, and the relentless New Mexico desert sun, the skies have finally opened. The first real rain of the year has arrived at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun, marking the beginning of monsoon season on the mesa.
For those living off-grid, rain is more than just weather—it is a moment of change. The sound of rain hitting the desert, the smell of wet earth, and the transformation of the landscape remind us how powerful and important every storm can be.
This is the beginning of our monsoon journey as we document the storms, the calm between weather systems, and the way the desert comes alive after rainfall.
The First Monsoon Storm of the Year
The first major storm of the season arrived with powerful energy. Dark clouds rolled across the New Mexico desert, winds moved through the mesa, and much-needed rain began falling across the land.
After weeks of intense summer heat, the cooler air and rainfall brought a welcome change. The desert, which can appear quiet and still during dry periods, begins to transform when the monsoon arrives.
During monsoon season, we experience:
Dramatic desert storm clouds
Powerful rain and changing weather patterns
Cooler temperatures after extreme heat
New life returning to the landscape
The challenges and rewards of off-grid living
At Plateau Hame De Colquhoun, every storm becomes part of the story of living with the land.

Experience the arrival of the first real rain of the year as the New Mexico monsoon begins.

A Break Between Storms: The Calm Before the Next Wave
After the first storm moved through, we entered a brief break between storms.
The desert became quiet again, but the skies showed signs that more weather was on the way. These moments between storms are some of the most beautiful parts of desert living—the cooler air, the changing clouds, and the anticipation of the next rainfall.
Monsoon season in New Mexico is unpredictable. One moment the desert can be dry and still, and the next it can be filled with thunder, wind, and rain.
This constant change is what makes desert life so unique.
Watch the Break Between Storms
Join us during a peaceful moment between storms as we watch monsoon season continue across the New Mexico desert.
Living Off-Grid During Monsoon Season
Off-grid living means being connected to the environment around us. Weather affects our daily routines, solar power, outdoor projects, animals, and life on the mesa.
Rain brings challenges, but it also brings appreciation.
Every storm reminds us why we chose this lifestyle:
To experience nature firsthand
To protect and preserve the land
To build a community connected to the desert
To appreciate the simple moments that many people never see

🎵 Brent Calhoun 🎵 Advocatus Diaboli 🎵 Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band

Behind The Scenes: More Than Just Off-Grid Living
When we started sharing Behind the Scenes: Off-Grid Living, we discovered something important.
There are many incredible creators sharing their off-grid lifestyles — but for us, this isn’t a performance.
This is simply our everyday life.
Living off-grid means adapting to:
Desert weather
Solar power limitations
Changing schedules
Nature’s unpredictability
Building creativity with limited resources
Instead of making off-grid living the main focus, our behind-the-scenes content will now show what happens behind the entertainment:

This unique property is designed as a space for independent music, creative expression, and authentic community gatherings. Each DBA under Plateau Hame De Colquhoun LLC represents a different part of the experience—ranging from live music performances and artist showcases to off-grid living and community-focused events.
Access to the property is limited to booked guests and members, creating a controlled and private environment where visitors can enjoy music, nature, and connection without the distractions of traditional commercial venues.
Ka-Hoon Campground & Event Center
Ka-Hoon Campground serves as the core of the property’s live experience. It provides a space for camping, gatherings, and events in a natural, off-grid setting. Guests can experience live music, including events like Music in the Desert, while surrounded by the open landscape of New Mexico.
Music in the Desert
Music in the Desert is a signature event series that brings together live performances, original music, and a community-driven atmosphere. Hosted at Colquhoun Entertainment, these events focus on independent artists and authentic sound in a private setting.

Colquhoun Entertainment and JAFO Productions handle the creative and production side of the property, supporting live events, content creation, and independent music projects such as Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band.
Dusty Nail General Store
The Dusty Nail General Store focuses on souvenirs, art, and crafts. Members of the community can also sell their own goods there on an honor pay system, fostering creativity and collaboration while supporting the off-grid lifestyle.
Plateau Hame De Colquhoun LLC continues to grow as a destination for those seeking off-grid living, independent music, creative experiences, and private events in New Mexico.
This is not just a venue—it is a full ecosystem built around community, creativity, and self-reliance.
At most venues, a showtime is decided by a clock on the wall. At Plateau hame de colquhoun, home of Ka-Hoon Campground and the Ka-Hoon Event Center, our schedule is set by something much older — the sunset.
Here at Colquhoun Entertainment, we power our livestreams using solar energy. That means when the days grow longer, our batteries charge later… and the show naturally moves later too.
So Music in the Desert now begins at 6 PM MST.
A Solar-Powered Show
Our weekly livestream isn’t a traditional performance. It’s a desert experience shared online. Hosted by Advocatus Diaboli and moderated by Melodious, the show mixes music, comedy, conversation, and the unpredictability of real life in the New Mexico desert.
The glow of evening, cooler air, and a charged battery bank make sunset the perfect moment to go live. Instead of forcing the desert to match a schedule, we let nature set the timing.
More Than a Livestream
Each week, viewers tune in for:
Live music performances
Karaoke & talent contests
Behind-the-scenes desert adventures
Spontaneous moments of humor, improvisation, and community
Whether you’re joining from your home or camping on-site, the desert atmosphere comes alive through the screen. The experience is as much about connection as it is about entertainment.
